Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is a [pretty spectacular device][1] and I'm glad it was announced now so I can start saving for the next six months, but this is a software blog and frankly we're a bit miffed -- we got nothing.
Phone Schmone. Where's the Leopard previews? Release dates? Amazing additional features Jobs promised at the WWDC? Can a million rumors about retiring the Aqua interface really be wrong? *We just don't know*.
What about ILife '07? ITunes? IWork? Rumor has it that some Steveo's presentation used some Keynote features that aren't available to us mortals using the '05 version. It seems reasonable to assume that an iWork '07 must therefore exist, but nary a peep from the big man.

We take some measure of consolation in remembering [this quote][2] (brought to our attention again by [Steven Johnson][3]) from Palm CEO Ed Colligan. When asked about the iPhone, Colligan:
>laughed off the idea that any company -- including the wildly popular Apple Computer -- could easily win customers in the finicky smart-phone sector. We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone," he said. <b>"PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in."</b>
(emphasis mine)
In the immortal words of Ace Venture: RRREHEHEALLY!
